heh, kes, though i'd wager you're just yanking my chain, I'll humor you...
First off, evolution is not a theory... it doesn't qaulify. Why? Because it's neither observable or falsifiable - (part of the criteria for something to be considered a Scientific Theory). It is more accurately a "notion", but feel free to use the term "theory" loosely.
Secondly, you begin with the presupposition that the earth is billions of years old. There is evidence to suggest it is MUCH younger. Still, it is not an issue of time length. It is an issue of a molecular machine having within itself the faculties necessary to become something else completely. Science has never observed this. There is room for Phenotypikal expression - dogs: great danes, collies, terriers, etc... Cats: persian, tabby, etc...
but at the end of the day, a dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat. :) A Genome does not become a different species.
